Frank and Kim

This is Nottingham's Owl man

Frank and Kim are often seen wandering around Nottingham and he is always up for a chat and photo shoot.

Frank has appeared on my 365 before, but this is a better photo than my previous shot.

This shot was took back in August at the Nottingham Carnival, but I thought the pic was worth sharing !

Here's a link to an article about Frank, that appeared in the Left Lion magazine in 2014

[Allison Williams]

I love this! A great picture of both man and bird and their relationship.

This is fabulous, Phil. If you could see me (good thing you can't {still in my dressing gown!!} you would know that my face is green). I adore barn owls. You have captured Frank and Kim beautifully. Wish I had been there!!

[Dione Giorgio]

The fact that Frank is very fond of Kim shows from the way he looks at his bet owl. These barn owls have beautiful and delicate-looking plumage. Fav.

[Rosie Kind]

Oh that's brilliant and an instant Fav. I wish I had an owl to sit on my shoulder. What a lucky man Frank is!

[Beryl Lloyd]

You have captured their mutual love and friendship so well here Phil - A huge fav

[Casablanca]

That is a super shot. You might like to enter that for the week's theme of 50:50 on Ross' Blog. It looks the perfect pairing to me!
Just a delightful relationship between the two here, instant fav

I took a photo of an owl today but silly me missed the chap out! You haven’t done that & your photo is much better! He wanted me to give him £4 if I had it on my arm, I declined!
